ANN ARBOR, Mich.: Ezekiel Elliott ran through, around and past Michigan’s defense a week after running his mouth.
Elliott had 214 yards rushing and two touchdowns, helping No. 8 Ohio State rout the 12th-ranked Wolverines 42-13 on Saturday.
The Buckeyes (11-1, 7-1 Big Ten, No. 8 CFP) have won 11 of the last 12 games in what has become a lopsided series.
Even with their latest win, the defending national champion Buckeyes needed Penn State to beat No. 6 Michigan State later in the day to reach the Big Ten championship game against Iowa. The Spartans didn’t cooperate, winning 55-16 to clinch the division title.
